MGR: Yahoo!

(Somehow, calling it Yahoo! seems inappropriate when you're griping about 
it.)

Yahoo! has apparently decided (or maybe it was unintentional) to prune the 
deadwood out of their system; suddenly a *lot* of email addresses are 
returning "Sorry your message to candace_0001@yahoo.com cannot be 
delivered. This account has been disabled or discontinued [#102]." and 
suchlike.  A lot more are returning over-quota errors, so I'm guessing they 
lowered the quotas, too.

I just checked my test Yahoo! account, and it bounces mail with the 
disabled/discontinued message, which might change if I could remember my 
password and check in on the website.  (Okay, so in that case they're right 
about it being a deadwood account...)

If anybody here's a regular Yahoo user and has any more information (such 
as "My account's working fine"), holler.

I have a Yahoo account I use for playing in another PBEM and it's been 
working just fine (knock on cyber-wood).  However, that list is fairly active 
and so I check in once every day or two so my account stays pretty active.

I'm guessing it's just accounts that haven't had any web checkins.  But that 
might include people who forward to other accounts (if Yahoo! allows that), if 
those people ignored any "Check in or die!" emails, for example.
